The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The June 30, 2004 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current period's consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2--ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Pursuant to SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 148), pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share are presented in the following table as if the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans had been utilized. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Net income As reported................... $6,456 $4,613 Pro forma..................... $6,147 4,586 Basic earnings per share As reported................... $ 0.33 $ 0.30 Pro forma..................... 0.31 0.30 Diluted earnings per share As reported................... $ 0.31 $ 0.28 Pro forma..................... 0.30 0.28 9 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Net income As reported.................. $12,406 $8,216 Pro forma.................... $11,788 8,162 Basic earnings per share As reported.................. $ 0.63 $ 0.54 Pro forma.................... 0.60 0.54 Diluted earnings per share As reported.................. $ 0.60 $ 0.51 Pro forma.................... 0.57 0.50 During the second quarter of 2004, the Company adopted the binomial method of valuing options for options granted in the second quarter and going forward. Previously the Black-Scholes method was used, however regulatory and accounting guidance have recommended the binomial method as it takes into account more assumptions about a grant's features, and better estimates employees' likely behavior regarding investments. The binomial model tends to produce a lower estimate of option value than Black-Scholes. In determining the fair value of each option grant for purposes of the above pro forma disclosures, the Company used the following assumptions for grants made in 2004: dividend yield of 0.40%; risk-free interest rate of 3.60%; expected lives of 7 years for the stock options; and expected volatility of approximately 30%, computed from an index of strategic peer company composite volatility over a one year basis. The following assumptions for grants made in 2003 were used: dividend yield of 0.40%; risk-free interest rate of 4.55%; expected lives of 10 years for the stock options; and expected volatility of approximately 46%. During the second quarter 2004, the Company granted 185,200 stock options with an exercise price of $26.89 to certain members of management that vest over 4 years. Additionally, the Company granted 1,200 stock options with an exercise price of $28.40 to a member of management that vest over 4 years. NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands except per share data) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Net income....................................... $12,406 $ 8,216 Weighted average common shares outstanding....... 19,541 15,250 Weighted average common shares equivalent(1)..... 965 1,040 ------- ------- Weighted average common shares and common share equivalents...................... 20,506 16,290 ======= ======= Net income per average common share - basic...... $ 0.63 $ 0.54 Net income per average common share - diluted.... $ 0.60 $ 0.50 (1) Common shares equivalent result from stock options being treated as if they had been exercised and are computed by application of the treasury stock method. 10 NOTE 4--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. On March 9, 2004, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, which provides guidance regarding mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments related to loans held for sale as written options, effective for commitments entered into after March 31, 2004. The Company accounts for loan commitments on single-family mortgages that it intends to sell as derivatives in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Loan commitments are recorded at zero on the date of issuance and are adjusted through earnings thereafter for changes in interest rates. In accordance with SAB 105, the Company does not include in the fair value of loan commitments any value for future servicing rights or other intangible assets. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have a material impact on the second quarter 2004. NOTE 5--OPERATING SEGMENTS For purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance, management regards The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and the Holding Company as four operating segments. The Company's investment securities portfolio is comprised of the two banks' portfolios and, accordingly, each portfolio is included in total assets and reported in the results of The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis). Compensation expense related to the management of the investment portfolios is allocated solely to The PrivateBank (Chicago). Insurance expense for the Company is allocated to The PrivateBank (Chicago), the Holding Company and the Wealth Management segments. The results for each business segment are summarized in the paragraphs below and included in the following segment tables. We apply the accrual basis of accounting for each reportable segment and for transactions between reportable segments. During the first six months of 2004, there were no changes in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss as compared to the same period in 2003. For the periods presented, there are no asymmetrical allocations to segments requiring disclosure. The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), and a mortgage company subsidiary, The PrivateBank Mortgage Company, formerly Corley Financial Corporation, acquired on June 15, 2004. During the first quarter 2001, in connection with the issuance of $20.0 million of 9.50% trust preferred securities, the Holding Company issued $20.0 million of subordinated debentures which are accounted for as long-term debt and also qualify as Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital (see note 8). The Tier 1 qualifying amount is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve regulations. The excess amount qualifies as Tier 2 capital. Holding Company Activities are reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses. Recurring holding company operating expenses consist of compensation (amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and miscellaneous professional fees. For the second quarter 2004, The PrivateBank Mortgage Company results are included in Holding Company Activities, since June 15, 2004, the date of acquisition. 14 HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES ---------------------------- JUNE 30, ---------------------------- 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Total assets................... $199,675 $156,196 Total borrowings............... 2,645 35,000 Long-term debt - trust preferred securities........ 20,000 20,000 Total capital.................. 174,992 100,339 Interest expense............... 974 1,539 Non-interest income............ 100 101 Non-interest expense........... 2,151 1,429 Net loss.......................

The sole assets of the trust are 9.50% junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company with a maturity date of December 31, 2030. 16 Subject to certain limitations, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. At the option of the Company, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to maturity on or after December 31, 2005, if certain conditions are met, and only after the Company has obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable guidelines or regulations. The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments upon liquidation or redemption of the trust preferred securities, in each case to the extent of funds held by the trust. The Company and the trust believe that, taken together, the obligations of the Company under the guarantee, the debentures and other related agreements provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all of the obligations of the trust under the trust preferred securities. The aggregate principal amount of the trust preferred securities outstanding is $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2004, the entire amount of the preferred securities is eligible for treatment as Tier I capital as allowed by the Federal Reserve. At June 30, 2004, the unamortized balance of the underwriting commissions paid and offering expenses was $1.0 million and is classified as part of other assets on the balance sheet. This amount is being amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity at $9,764 per quarter. The amortization is recognized as interest expense on the income statement. In the event the Company exercises its right to redeem the securities prior to maturity, any unamortized commissions would be expensed upon redemption. NOTE 9--CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS During the second quarter 2004, the Company declared and paid a $0.03 per share dividend, even with first quarter 2004 levels, and a 50% increase from the fourth quarter 2003 dividend rate of $0.02 per share. During the second quarter 2004, the Company repurchased 24,515 shares of its common stock in connection with the satisfaction of a stock option exercise and federal withholding tax requirements on the exercise of stock options by a board member and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On April 23, 2004, the Company announced a two-for-one split of its common stock, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders received one share for every one share of PrivateBancorp, Inc. common stock held on the record date. The stock dividend was paid on May 31, 2004 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2004. NOTE 10--ACQUISITIONS On June 15, 2004, the Company acquired Corley Financial Corporation, a Chicago-based, mortgage-banking boutique that originated approximately $180.0 million in single-family residential loans in 2003. The PrivateBank (Chicago) previously outsourced its processing of residential mortgage loans to Corley Financial Corporation in a business relationship that was established over three years ago. The Company acquired Corley in an effort to better serve clients and lower mortgage origination costs, while adding highly experienced mortgage lenders to client service teams. After the acquisition, the mortgage bank operates as The PrivateBank Mortgage Company and is maintained as a separate subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, Inc. The consideration paid by the Company included cash of $475,000 and 32,000 shares of common stock valued at $872,640, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million before transaction costs. The value of the common stock issued was determined based on the closing stock price of PrivateBancorp, 17 Inc.'s common stock on the date of acquisition. All assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value as of the effective date of the acquisition. THE PRIVATEBANK MORTGAGE COMPANY JUNE 15, 2004 The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: AT JUNE 15, 2004 (IN 000'S) --------------------------- Cash........................................ $ 187 Fixed assets................................ 8 Loans held for sale......................... 4,773 Other assets................................ 143 ------ Total assets acquired ................. $5,111 Current liabilities ........................ $5,068 ------ Total liabilities assumed ............. 5,068 Net assets acquired ........................ $ 43 ====== The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $1.3 million. The goodwill will not be amortized pursuant to the application of SFAS 142, but will be evaluated annually for impairment. The entire amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW PrivateBancorp was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1989 to serve as the holding company for a Chicago-based de novo (start-up) bank. Our flagship downtown Chicago location opened in 1991. We expanded to Wilmette in north suburban Cook County in 1994 and the Oak Brook facility in west suburban DuPage County was established in 1997. We established the St. Charles office in January 2000, in connection with our purchase of Towne Square Financial Corporation (a company which was in the process of forming a de novo bank) on August 3, 1999. On February 11, 2000, we consummated our acquisition of Johnson Bank Illinois adding two additional locations in Lake Forest and Winnetka, Illinois. During the second quarter 2000, we received regulatory approval to create a new banking subsidiary and on June 23, 2000, PrivateBancorp capitalized The PrivateBank (St. Louis). In May 2001, The PrivateBank (Chicago) opened a second branch in the Fox Valley area in Geneva, Illinois. On July 22, 2004, the Company signed a definitive lease agreement for the site of a new Chicago banking office in the historic Palmolive Building at the corner of North Michigan Avenue and Walton Place in Chicago's affluent Gold Coast neighborhood to open in the fall of 2004. On April 21, 2004, the Company announced its intent to expand to the southeastern Wisconsin market. The Company plans to open a new banking office to operate as The PrivateBank (Wisconsin), which is expected to open for business at an as of yet undisclosed downtown Milwaukee location by the first of the year 2005. In December 2002, The PrivateBank (Chicago) acquired an 80% controlling interest in Lodestar Investment Counsel, a Chicago-based investment adviser with $609.2 million of assets under management at June 30, 2004. On June 15, 2004, the Company acquired Corley Financial Corporation, a Chicago-based, mortgage-banking boutique. After the acquisition, the mortgage bank operates as The PrivateBank Mortgage Company and is maintained as a separate subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, Inc. For financial information regarding the Company's four separate lines of business, The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and Holding Company Activities, see "Operating Segments Results" beginning on page 29 and "Note 5 -- Operating Segments" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included on page 11. The profitability of our operations depends on our net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields of interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest as well as to the execution of our asset/liability management strategy. The provision for loan losses is affected by changes in the loan portfolio, management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio, loss experience, as well as economic and market factors. Non-interest income consists primarily of net security gains and Wealth Management fee income, and to a lesser extent, fees for ancillary banking services. Non-interest income from fees and deposit service charges are below peer group levels. This is largely the result of the profile of our typical client. Our clients tend to have larger deposit account balances than customers of traditional banks. Because average balances tend to be high, we do not earn high service charge income typical of many retail banks. Non-interest expenses are heavily influenced by the growth of operations. Our growth directly affects the majority of our expense categories. 19 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurements are not possible or practical. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein. For a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies, see the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included on pages F-8 through F-14 in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Below is a discussion of our critical accounting policies. These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. For PrivateBancorp, Inc., accounting policies that are viewed as critical to us are those relating to estimates and judgments regarding the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the estimation of the valuation of goodwill and the useful lives applied to intangible assets. Allowance for Loan Losses We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date and is based on a review of available and relevant information. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships as well as probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio and credit undertakings that are not specifically identified. Our allowance for loan losses is reassessed monthly to determine the appropriate level of the allowance. The amount of the allowance for loan losses is determined based on a variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the loans in the portfolio, volume of loans in the portfolio, delinquent loans, impaired loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area, actual charge-offs and recoveries during the period and historical loss experience. The unallocated portion of the reserve involves the exercise of judgment by management and reflects various considerations, including management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. Management adjusts the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at the level determined appropriate. Loans are charged-off when deemed to be uncollectible by management. We believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.23% as of June 30, 2004 compared to 1.22% as of June 30, 2003. Goodwill and Intangible Assets During 2001, The PrivateBank (Chicago) recorded approximately $12.2 million in goodwill in connection with the Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition. During 2002, the Company recorded $8.4 million of goodwill and $2.5 million in customer intangibles in connection with the acquisition of Lodestar. During the second quarter 2004, the Company recorded $1.3 million of goodwill in connection with the acquisition of Corley Financial. Intangible assets are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives no longer be amortized but be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators arise. Prior to the adoption of FAS No. 142, goodwill was 20 being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years. The Company did not incur any goodwill impairment in 2003 in adopting FAS 142. The Company performs an impairment test of goodwill each year. Impairment losses on recorded goodwill, if any, will be recorded as operating expenses. Goodwill at June 30, 2004 was $20.5 million compared to $19.2 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.3 million, resulting from the acquisition of Corley Financial. Amortization expense related to the Lodestar customer intangible assets is recognized at approximately $168,000 each year until 2017. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 NET INCOME Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $6.5 million, up 40% compared to second quarter 2003 net income of $4.6 million. Earnings per diluted share increased 11% to $0.31 in the second quarter 2004 compared to $0.28 per diluted share in the second quarter 2003. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, increased to $12.4 million, or $.60 per diluted share, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the same period last year, reflecting diluted earnings per share improvement of 20%. The improvement in earnings per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year period reflects a year over year increase in net interest margin augmented by strong loan demand and increases in wealth management, mortgage banking and other income. Non-interest income was $3.6 million in the second quarter 2004, reflecting a decrease of approximately $806,000 or 18% from the second quarter 2003. The decrease in fee income was attributable to $1.2 million in securities losses compared to $2.3 million in securities gains in the prior year quarter. Securities losses were more than offset by $1.3 million in trading gains from the fair market value adjustment on a $25.0 million, 10-year treasury rate for 3-month LIBOR interest rate swap and increases in wealth management fee revenue during the quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized securities losses of $168,000, compared to gains of $2.3 million for the same period in 2003. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflects the fair market value adjustment on the interest rate swap, which resulted in gains of $259,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004, versus losses of $1.3 million in the prior year period. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Interest income includes amortization of loan origination fees recorded from loans. Interest expense includes amortization of prepaid fees on brokered deposits and issuance costs of trust preferred securities. Net interest margin represents net interest income on a tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets during the period. Net interest margin reflects the spread between average yields earned on interest earning assets and the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. The volume of non-interest-bearing funds, largely comprised of demand deposits and capital, also affects the net interest margin. Net interest income was $17.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 38%, and a decrease of 1% compared to the first quarter 2004. Average earning assets during the second quarter of 2004 were $2.1 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the prior year quarter, an increase of 32%, and an increase of 7% since the first quarter 2004. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.51% in the second quarter of 2004, up from 3.33% in the prior year second quarter and down from 3.80% in the first quarter of 2004. Compared to the first quarter 2004, the margin compression during the second quarter of 2004 reflects a 19 basis point decrease in yields on average earning assets and a 14 basis point increase in the costs of average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in earning asset yields was primarily due to the combined impact of lower yields on recently originated loans, a decrease in the dividend paid on Federal 21 Home Loan Bank (Chicago) stock from 6.5% in the first quarter 2004 to 6.0% in the second quarter 2004, and high levels of residential mortgage prepayments, which depressed the yield on the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The increase in cost of funds was primarily due to the combined impact of adding approximately $36.0 million of long-term brokered deposits in the first quarter 2004 and early in the second quarter 2004 as well as the one-time cost of approximately $170,000 associated with calling and refunding $25.0 million of brokered deposits. For the third quarter 2004, the Company expects net interest margin to stabilize given a likely increase in earning asset yields. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $37.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2003, an increase of 37%. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, up from 3.49% in the prior year period. The improvement in net interest margin during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 was primarily attributable to a reduction of 21 basis points in the rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities, which more than offset the 14 basis point decline in the rates earned on interest yielding assets. During 2004, increases in market rates of interest have positively impacted yields on investment securities. A changing interest rate environment has an effect on our net interest margin. A large portion of our loan portfolio is based on the prime interest rate and may reprice faster than our deposits and floating rate borrowings. Longer-term liabilities are generally more expensive than shorter-term liabilities given the upward slope of the yield curve. Alternatively, if market interest rates decrease, we expect our net interest margin to experience pressure. As discussed in the previous quarter, changing our focus to lengthen borrowing terms given historically lower rates during 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 has compressed net interest margin this quarter, but should have a positive impact in future quarters if market interest rates continue to rise. 22 The following tables present a summary of our net interest income and related net interest margin, calculated on a tax equivalent basis (dollars in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE BALANCE(1) INTEREST RATE BALANCE(1) INTEREST RATE ---------- -------- ------ ---------- -------- ------ Fed funds sold and other short-term investments......... $ 1,944 $ 4 0.78% $ 9,765 $ 31 1.04% Investment securities (taxable)... 489,759 5,289 4.29% 387,942 3,451 3.53% Investment securities (non-taxable) ................. 215,469 3,631 6.74% 140,002 2,439 6.97% Loans, net of unearned discount(2).................... 1,377,610 18,702 5.40% 1,047,043 15,208 5.78% ---------- ------- ---------- ------- Total earning assets.............. $2,084,782 $27,626 5.27% $1,584,752 $21,129 5.30% ========== ======= ========== ======= Interest-bearing deposits......... $1,474,100 $ 7,155 1.95% $1,287,331 $ 6,140 1.91% Funds borrowed.................... 320,766 1,552 1.91% 157,485 1,204 3.02% Trust preferred securities........ 20,000 485 9.70% 20,000 485 9.70% ---------- ------- ---------- ------- Total interest-bearing liabilities.................... $1,814,865 9,192 2.03% $1,464,816 7,829 2.14% ========== ------- ========== ------- Tax equivalent net interest income(3)...................... $18,434 $13,300 ======= ======= Net interest spread(4)............ 3.24% 3.16% Net interest margin(3)(5)......... 3.51% 3.33% SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE BALANCE(1) INTEREST RATE BALANCE(1) INTEREST RATE ---------- -------- ------ ---------- -------- ------ Fed funds sold and other short-term investments......... $ 1,797 $ 10 1.12% $ 10,794 $ 56 1.03% Investment securities (taxable)... 482,704 10,879 4.48% 369,815 7,243 3.90% Investment securities(non-taxable) 207,059 6,987 6.75% 134,502 4,721 7.02% Loans, net of unearned discount(2).................... 1,320,804 36,382 5.48% 1,023,807 30,375 5.93% ---------- ------- ---------- ------- Total earning assets.............. $2,012,364 $54,258 5.37% $1,538,918 $42,395 5.51% ========== ======= ========== ======= Interest-bearing deposits......... $1,428,509 $13,248 1.86% $1,234,814 $11,917 1.95% Funds borrowed.................... 313,348 3,038 1.92% 174,780 2,516 2.86% Trust preferred securities........ 20,000 970 9.70% 20,000 970 9.70% ---------- ------- ---------- ------- Total interest-bearing liabilities $1,761,857 $17,256 1.96% $1,429,594 $15,403 2.17% ========== ------- ========== ------- Tax equivalent net interest income(3)...................... $37,002 $26,992 ======= ======= Net interest spread(4)............ 3.41% 3.34% Net interest margin(5)(3)......... 3.65% 3.49% <FN> - ------------------ (1) Average balances were generally computed using daily balances.

The total tax equivalent adjustment reflected in the above table is $2.1 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively. </FN> PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES We made a provision for loan losses of $724,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $730,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Net recoveries totaled $51,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 versus net charge-offs of $182,000 for the second quarter of 2003 and net recoveries of $103,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the provision for loan losses was $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. 25 Our allowance for probable loan losses is reassessed monthly to determine the appropriate level of the reserve. Our analysis is influenced by the following factors: the volume and quality of loans and commitments in the portfolio, loss experience, and economic conditions. A discussion of the allowance for loan losses and the factors on which provisions are based begins on page 31. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income was $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2004, reflecting a decrease of approximately $806,000 or 18% from the second quarter of 2003. The decrease in fee income was primarily attributable to $1.2 million in securities losses compared to $2.3 million in securities gains in the prior year quarter. Securities losses were more than offset by $1.3 million in trading gains from the fair market value adjustment on a $25.0 million 10-year treasury rate for 3-month LIBOR interest rate swap and increases in wealth management fee revenue during the quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized securities losses of $168,000, compared to gains of $2.3 million for the same period in 2003. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflects the fair market value adjustment on the interest rate swap, which resulted in gains of $259,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004, versus losses of $1.3 million in the prior year period. The following table presents the breakdown of wealth management, mortgage banking and other income for the periods presented: THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED -------------------- --------------------- JUNE 30, JUNE 30, -------------------- --------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------ ------ ------ ------ Wealth management fee revenue.......... $2,129 $1,580 $4,087 $3,065 Residential real estate secondary market fees......................... 782 1,037 1,246 1,818 Banking and other services............. 436 415 870 723 Bank owned life insurance.............. 125 149 249 276 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total wealth management, mortgage banking and other income......... $3,472 $3,181 $6,452 $5,882 ====== ====== ====== ====== Total wealth management assets under management were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2004 compared to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2003, and up $95.2 million from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2003. Of these amounts, trust services assets under management were $980.9 million and Lodestar assets under management were $609.2 million at June 30, 2004. Excluded from the total wealth management assets under management are $63.6 million of trust services assets that are managed by Lodestar. At March 31, 2004, trust services managed $974.4 million of assets, Lodestar managed $601.8 million of assets, and $56.6 million of assets managed by Lodestar were excluded from the total wealth management assets under management. Growth in assets under management during the quarter reflects the impact of net new business generated. Growth in wealth management fee income contributed to the expansion in non-interest income during the quarter. Wealth management fee income totaled $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2004, an increase of approximately $550,000 from the second quarter of 2003 and an increase of $172,000 from the first quarter of 2004. Of the $2.1 million, approximately $534,000 was revenue generated from wealth management services provided to those clients where a third-party investment manager is utilized. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, $1.6 million of wealth management fee revenue was generated; of this amount approximately $477,000 was third-party investment manager revenue. A 26 portion of revenue is used to pay these third-party investment managers and the remaining amount of fees collected are utilized to cover costs associated with administering other aspects of the wealth management services that we provide to clients. The fees paid to third-party investment managers are included in the professional fees category of non-interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, wealth management fee income totaled $4.1, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in wealth management fee revenue over the prior year period reflects a favorable shift in the mix of accounts towards higher fee structures, the addition of new business and equity market improvements experienced during 2003. Sales of residential real estate loans generated $782,000 of income during the second quarter of 2004 compared to $1.0 million during the prior year quarter primarily due to a lower volume of loans sold as a result of relatively decreased demand for residential real estate loans. Late in the first quarter 2004, when market interest rates declined, we experienced a slight increase in the demand for residential real estate loans. The majority of these loans closed in the second quarter with a resulting benefit to residential loan fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales of newly originated residential real estate loans generated $1.2 million of income as compared to $1.8 million in the year earlier period, a decrease of 32%. During the second quarter of 2004, we recognized income of $125,000 related to the increased cash surrender value of a bank owned life insurance (BOLI) policy that was entered into in the fourth quarter of 2001 as compared to relatively similar levels of income in the second quarter of 2003. This policy covers certain higher-level employees who are deemed to be significant contributors to the Company. All employees included in this policy are aware and have consented to the coverage. The cash surrender value of BOLI at June 30, 2004 was $11.5 million and is included in other assets on the balance sheet. Early in the third quarter 2004, the Company purchased an additional $22.0 million in BOLI, which should result in higher BOLI revenue in the third quarter of 2004. Included in non-interest income for the 2004 period are trading losses recorded to reflect the fair market value adjustment on an interest rate swap used to economically hedge a portion of the Company's investment in long-term municipal bonds. The change in the fair market value of the swap is recognized in earnings and resulted in a gain for the three months ended June 30, 2004 because of the overall increase in market rates of interest during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the trading gain totaled $1.3 million compared to a trading loss of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2003. Securities losses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $1.2 million compared to gains of $2.3 million in the prior year quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, trading gains were $259,000 compared to losses of $1.3 million in the prior year period. Securities losses were $168,000 for the first six months of 2004, compared to gains of $2.3 million in the prior year period. 27 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED ------------------------ ------------------------- JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------------ ------------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS) (IN THOUSANDS) Salaries and employee benefits.......... $6,057 $5,070 $12,092 $ 9,848 Occupancy............................... 1,350 1,270 2,710 2,689 Professional fees....................... 1,451 1,069 2,565 2,353 Marketing............................... 703 509 1,198 995 Data processing......................... 513 368 960 761 Postage, telephone and delivery......... 227 212 456 424 Office supplies and printing............ 127 137 262 297 Insurance............................... 207 146 422 314 Amortization of intangibles............. 42 42 84 84 Other expense........................... 543 933 1,010 1,410 ------- ------ ------- ------- Total non-interest expense.............. $11,220 $9,756 $21,759 $19,175 ======= ====== ======= ======= Non-interest expense increased to $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 15%. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, non-interest expense increased 13% to $21.8 million from $19.2 million in the prior period. The increase in non-interest expense between the periods is attributable primarily to increases in personnel costs associated with our growing client service team, including the addition of several managing directors during 2004 and the addition of Corley Financial Corporation employees. Our efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis plus non-interest income) improved to 50.8% for the second quarter 2004 as compared to 55.0% for the second quarter 2003. On a tax-equivalent basis, this ratio indicates that in the second quarter of 2004, we spent 50.9 cents to generate each dollar of revenue, compared to 55.0 cents in the second quarter of 2003. Our efficiency ratio improved to 50.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 56.7% for the same period in 2003. Please refer to footnote 3 on page 24 for a reconciliation of net interest income to net interest income on a tax equivalent basis. Salaries and benefits increased to $6.1 million, or 19% during the second quarter 2004 as compared to the year ago quarter, reflecting the increased level of full-time equivalent employees to 252 people at June 30, 2004 from 194 people at June 30, 2003. Salaries and benefits increased to $12.1 million, or 23% during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the year ago period. The increase is due primarily to overall growth in the organization and the addition of two Managing Directors and 11 employees as a result of the acquisition of Corley Financial in June of 2004. Occupancy expense increased to $1.4 million during the second quarter 2004, reflecting an increase of 6% over the prior year quarter. Occupancy expense was $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, even with the prior year period. We expect occupancy expense to increase in future quarters with the additional floor space that is being leased in our downtown Chicago location as well as the additional space being leased for the Gold Coast office to be opened in the fall of 2004. Professional fees, which include legal, accounting, consulting, information systems consulting services and investment management fees, increased to $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2004, reflecting an increase of 36% over the prior year quarter, primarily due to expenses associated with the documentation and testing of internal controls which has resulted as a result of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. During 2004, we expect to spend approximately $250,000 in professional fees and expenses associated with the implementation of these requirements. Professional fees increased to $2.6 million, or 9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the prior year period. 28 Marketing expense increased 38% to $703,000 during the second quarter 2004 over the prior year quarter and 20% to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the growth of the organization and increased demands for marketing materials and events. Insurance expense increased 42% during the second quarter 2004 over the prior year quarter and 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the increased cost of insurance in the marketplace, and the renewal of our annual insurance coverage. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter 2004 decreased by 42% as compared to the prior year quarter. In April 2003, The PrivateBank (Chicago) suffered a potential loss of $400,000 in a check fraud scheme involving a new account deposit. On June 27, 2003, the Company received a letter from its insurance carrier declining coverage for the loss. As a result, the Company recorded a second quarter 2003 charge of $400,000, which accounted for a significant portion of the increase in other non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2003. The Company's claim against the insurance carrier was denied in May of 2004. During the first six months of 2004, we amortized $84,000 in intangible assets related to our acquisition of a controlling interest in Lodestar, compared to a similar amount in 2003. MINORITY INTEREST EXPENSE On December 30, 2002, The PrivateBank (Chicago) acquired an 80% controlling interest in Lodestar Investment Counsel LLC ("Lodestar"). The Company records its 20% noncontrolling interest in Lodestar related to Lodestar's results or operations, in minority interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we recorded approximately $65,000 of minority interest expense. INCOME TAXES The following table shows our income before income taxes, applicable income taxes and effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively (in thousands): SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------ 2004 2003 -------- -------- Income before taxes.......... $17,487 $11,465 Income tax provision......... 5,081 3,249 Effective tax rate........... 29.1% 28.3% The effective income tax rate varies from statutory rates principally due to certain interest income, which is tax-exempt for federal or state purposes, and certain expenses, which are disallowed for tax purposes. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year period reflects growth in pretax income of 53% that has slightly outpaced the growth on our federally tax-exempt municipal bonds income. Federally tax-exempt municipal bonds increased to $235.5 million as of June 30, 2004, a 51% increase from $156.2 million at June 30, 2003. OPERATING SEGMENTS RESULTS As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, the Company's operations consist of four primary business segments: The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and Holding Company Activities. The profitability of The PrivateBank (Chicago) is primarily dependent on the net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Net income for The PrivateBank (Chicago) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased 36% to $12.4 million from $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The growth in net income for the period resulted from improvements in net interest income, which was driven by increases in loans and investments. The 29 improvement in net interest income and non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 more than offset increases in operating expenses associated with continued growth of The PrivateBank (Chicago). Net interest income for The PrivateBank (Chicago) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $29.8 million from $22.6 million, or 32%, primarily due to growth in earning assets. Total loans at The PrivateBank (Chicago) increased by 31%, or $296.6 million, to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2004 as compared to total loans of $942.7 million at June 30, 2003. The majority of the loan growth for the six months ended June 30, 2004 occurred in the commercial and industrial loan category. Total deposits increased by 17% to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2004, from $1.3 billion at June 30, 2003. Growth in non-interest-bearing deposits, savings deposits and money market deposits accounted for the majority of the deposit growth. Net income for The PrivateBank (St. Louis) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $1.1 million as compared to $826,000 in the prior year period. This growth in net income resulted from increases in net interest income and non-interest income, which more than offset increases in operating expenses. Net interest income for The PrivateBank (St. Louis) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $3.4 million from $2.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 37%, primarily due to growth in earning assets. Total loans at The PrivateBank (St. Louis) increased 36% to $171.2 million at June 30, 2004 from $125.9 million at June 30, 2003, due primarily to growth in commercial real estate and commercial loans categories. Construction loans also contributed to the increase in loans, but to a lesser extent. Total deposits increased by $26.3 million to $170.1 million at June 30, 2004 from $143.8 million at June 30, 2003. The majority of the deposit growth at The PrivateBank (St. Louis) was due to increased money market, jumbo certificates of deposit and non-interest bearing deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year period. Brokered deposits were $49.2 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $4.9 million since June 30, 2003. Wealth management includes investment management, personal trust and estate services, custodial services, retirement accounts and brokerage and investment services. Wealth management assets under management increased by $388.8 million (including assets managed by Lodestar of $63.6 million) to $1.6 billion at June 30, 2004, as compared to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2003, due primarily to the improvement in the equity markets and increases in net new business. Wealth management fee revenue was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 for our Wealth Management segment was $729,000 as compared to $242,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Holding Company Activities consist of parent company only matters. The Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), and its mortgage banking subsidiary, The PrivateBank Mortgage Company, acquired on June 15, 2004. Holding Company Activities are reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses of the parent company. Recurring holding company operating expenses consist primarily of compensation (amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and miscellaneous professional fees. The Holding Company Activities segment, which includes the results of The PrivateBank Mortgage Company, reported a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to a net loss of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The slight decrease in the amount of the net loss reported for 2004 as compared to prior year period reflects the decrease in the amount of borrowings recorded at the Holding Company Activities segment. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company repaid a $30.0 million revolving line of credit and a $5.0 million subordinated note. The reduced level of borrowings has reduced the interest expense recognized at the Holding Company Activities segment. Total debt outstanding, which included trust preferred securities, at the Holding 30 Company at June 30, 2004, was $22.6 million, compared to total debt outstanding of $55.0 million at June 30, 2003. FINANCIAL CONDITION TOTAL ASSETS Total assets increased to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2004, an increase of $214.2 million, or 11% over total assets of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2003, and an increase of $439.5 million, or 25% over $1.8 billion of total assets at June 30, 2003. The balance sheet growth during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was accomplished mainly through loan growth throughout the Company and growth in the investment securities portfolio. The growth in assets was funded primarily through increases in FHLB advances, and core deposit growth, including savings, money market, and non-interest bearing demand deposits. LOANS Total loans increased to $1.4 billion, an increase of $182.9 million, or 15%, from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2003 and an increase of $340.7 million, or 32%, from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003. Loan growth since December 31, 2003 has occurred primarily in the commercial real estate, commercial and construction loan categories. The PrivateBank (St. Louis) had loans outstanding of $171.2 million as of June 30, 2004, which reflects growth of $19.7 million, or 13%, since December 31, 2003. The remaining loan growth of $163.2 million (excluding intercompany eliminations) during the first six months of 2004 was generated by The PrivateBank (Chicago). All of The PrivateBank (Chicago) offices posted strong gains in loan volume throughout the period. Loan volume at The PrivateBank (Chicago) offices increased 16% at June 30, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 loan levels. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio net of unearned discount by category (in thousands) at the following dates: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 2004 2003 2003 ----------- ------------ ----------- LOANS Commercial real estate............. $ 711,097 $ 639,296 $ 524,208 Commercial......................... 224,143 181,062 162,235 Residential real estate............ 83,434 69,541 70,858 Personal(1)........................ 72,302 77,154 63,047 Home Equity........................ 109,756 94,726 89,457 Construction....................... 206,854 162,878 157,114 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total loans, net of unearned discount..................... $1,407,586 $1,224,657 $1,066,919 ========== ========== ========== - ------------------ (1) Includes overdraft lines. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loan quality is continually monitored by management and reviewed by the loan committees of the boards of directors of the banks on a monthly basis. The amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses, which is charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses, is determined based on a variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the portfolio, delinquent loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area, actual charge-offs during the year and historical loss experience. The unallocated portion of the reserve involves the exercise of judgment by management and reflects various considerations, including management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. 31 We maintain an allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date and is supported by all available and relevant information. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships, as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit undertakings that are not specifically identified. Management's application of the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $17.3 million at June 30, 2004 compared with $15.1 million at December 31, 2003, primarily reflecting growth in the loan portfolio during the first six months of 2004. We believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.23% at June 30, 2004, 1.23% at December 31, 2003 and 1.22% at June 30, 2003. Net recoveries totaled $154,180 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus net charge-offs of $252,000 in the year earlier period. The provision for loan losses was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, versus $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands): 2004 2003 -------- -------- Balance, January 1........................... $15,100 $11,585 Provisions charged to earnings............... 2,050 1,686 Loans charged-off, net of recoveries......... 154 (252) ------- ------- Balance, June 30............................. $17,304 $13,019 ======= ======= Under our methodology, the allowance for loan losses is comprised of the following components: SPECIFIC COMPONENT OF THE RESERVE The specific component of the reserve is determined on a loan-by-loan basis as part of a regular review of our loan portfolio. The Company utilizes a loan rating system to assist in developing an internal problem loan identification system ("Watch List") as a means for identifying and reporting non-performing and potential problem loans. These loans are allocated specifically identified reserves based on the loan ratings assigned to individual loans. The specific reserve is based on a loan's current book value compared to the present value of its projected future cash flows, collateral value or market value, as is relevant for the particular loan. The portion of the provision related to the specific component of the reserve was approximately $285,000 during the first six months of 2004 resulting in an increase in this component of approximately $439,000 after giving effect to $154,000 in recoveries during the period. The specific component of the reserve consists of individual credit relationships that have been allocated specifically identified reserves based on the loan ratings assigned to individual loans and other extensions of credit. ALLOCATED INHERENT COMPONENT OF THE RESERVE The allocated portion of the inherent component of the reserve is based on management's review of historical and industry charge-off experience as well as its judgment regarding loans in each loan category over a period of time that management determines is adequate to reflect longer-term economic trends. Loss factors are evaluated by management and adjusted based on current facts and circumstances. Loss factor adjustments reflect management's assessment of the credit risk inherent in each loan category. 32 The portion of the provision related to the allocated inherent component of the reserve was $2.1 million during the first six months of 2004. The increase in the allocated portion of the reserve reflects a significant migration of loans to slightly higher risk ratings as well as the increase in volume in our commercial real estate loan portfolio and construction loan portfolio. Loss factors for the construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios were also increased to reflect management's evaluation of the current economic conditions and its impact on these sectors of the portfolio. Management has identified a weakening of credit quality of certain borrowers as reflected by risk rating downgrades in 2004. Management has noticed lower sales, decreased profitability and lower cash flows within its client base. These trends led to the increased loss factors noted above. The increase in this component of the reserve was partially offset by a decline in the impact of residential real estate and home equity loans, resulting from a decrease in their respective loss factors. Loss factors applied to residential real estate and home equity loans were decreased or unchanged based on management's assessment of our historical loss experience coupled with the quality of the underlying collateral securing the residential real estate and home equity loan portfolios. UNALLOCATED INHERENT COMPONENTS OF THE RESERVE The unallocated portion of the inherent component of the reserve is based on management's review of other factors affecting the determination of probable losses inherent in the portfolio, which are not necessarily captured by the application of loss factors. This portion of the reserve analysis involves the exercise of judgment and reflects consideration such as management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. The portion of the provision related to the unallocated inherent component of the reserve decreased by $327,000 for the first six months of 2004. The decrease reflects our view that the inherent losses related to certain factors, such as general economic and business conditions and the possible imprecision due to changes in the portfolio mix, which we considered in our evaluation of the unallocated allowance at December 31, 2003 are now recognized at June 30, 2004 in the allocated allowance through increased specific reserves or in the higher loss factors utilized in determining the risk allocated allowance. The growth and complexity of the loan portfolio exposes us to larger individual charge-offs. 33 NONPERFORMING LOANS The following table classifies our non-performing loans as of the dates shown: 6/30/04 3/31/04 12/31/03 9/30/03 6/30/03 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Nonaccrual loans...................... $151 $131 $ 36 $ 517 $ 889 Loans past due 90 days or more........ 644 715 1,088 1,401 1,849 ---- ---- ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans.......... 795 846 1,124 1,918 2,738 ---- ---- ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets......... $795 $846 $1,124 $1,918 $2,738 ==== ==== ====== ====== ====== Total nonaccrual loans to total loans........................ 0.01% 0.01% 0.00% 0.05% 0.08% Total nonperforming loans to total loans.............................. 0.06% 0.06% 0.09% 0.17% 0.26% Total nonperforming assets to total assets............................. 0.04% 0.04% 0.06% 0.10% 0.16% Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans, which are 90 days or more delinquent. Loans in this category include those with characteristics such as past maturity more than 90 days, those that have recent adverse operating cash flow or balance sheet trends, or loans that have general risk characteristics that management believes might jeopardize the future timely collection of principal and interest payments. The balance in this category at any reporting period can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiations and renewals. Nonaccrual loans were $151,000 at June 30, 2004 as compared to $36,000 at December 31, 2003 and $889,000 at June 30, 2003. Nonaccrual loans increased by $115,000 since December 31, 2003. Loans delinquent over 90 days decreased by $444,000 since December 31, 2003 to $644,000. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and the estimated fair value of securities at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, were as follows (in thousands): INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE ------------------------------------------------------------- JUNE 30, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED ESTIMATED COST GAINS LOSSES FAIR VALUE ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations........................... $263,195 $3,906 $(2,530) $264,571 Corporate collateralized mortgage obligations........................... 3,594 -- (1) 3,593 Tax exempt municipal securities.......... 235,501 4,769 (2,547) 237,723 Taxable municipal securities............. 3,855 19 -- 3,874 Federal Home Loan Bank stock............. 208,097 -- -- 208,097 Other.................................... 4,405 332 (13) 4,724 -------- ------ ------- -------- Total.................................... $718,647 $9,026 $(5,091) $722,582 ======== ====== ======= ======== 34 INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE ------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED ESTIMATED COST GAINS LOSSES FAIR VALUE ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations........................... $239,092 $ 4,695 $(1,060) $242,727 Corporate collateralized mortgage obligations........................... 4,910 -- (1) 4,909 Tax exempt municipal securities.......... 192,417 11,141 (163) 203,395 Taxable municipal securities............. 3,855 2 -- 3,857 Federal Home Loan Bank stock............. 209,633 -- -- 209,633 Other.................................... 4,363 391 (13) 4,741 -------- ------- ------- -------- Total.................................... $654,270 $16,229 $(1,237) $669,262 ======== ======= ======= ======== All securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as part of our asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or significant prepayment risk. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with related unrealized net gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, recorded as an adjustment to equity capital. At June 30, 2004, reported stockholders' equity reflected unrealized securities gains net of tax of $3.1 million. This represented a decline of approximately $6.8 million from unrealized securities gains net of tax of $9.9 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease was the result of an increase in interest rates during the quarter, which reduced the market value of the bank's fixed-income investment portfolio. The market value of fixed-income securities moves in the opposite direction of interest rates. Securities available-for-sale increased to $722.6 million at June 30, 2004, up 8% from $669.3 million as of December 31, 2003. The growth in the investment security portfolio since December 31, 2003 resulted from the continued implementation of our asset/liability management strategy. Compared to December 31, 2003, investments in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and CMOs increased by $21.8 million from $242.7 million to $264.6 million; investments in tax-exempt municipal securities increased by $34.3 million from $203.4 million to $237.7 million. Investments in FHLB stock decreased by $1.5 million from $209.6 million to $208.1 million, $207.0 million of which is stock of the FHLB (Chicago). Currently, we plan to limit our FHLB stock investment to no more than the $208.5 million we had outstanding at December 31, 2003. The FHLB (Chicago) paid a 6.5% (annualized) dividend in the first, second and third quarters of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 and a 7.0% (annualized) dividend in the fourth quarter 2003. The FHLB (Chicago) recently announced that it will maintain an annualized dividend payment of 6.0% for the second quarter 2004, payable to shareholders in the third quarter 2004. In a press release dated June 30, 2004, the FHLB (Chicago) also recently announced that it has entered into a written agreement with its regulator agreeing to implement various changes to enhance its risk management, capital management, governance and internal control practices. The FHLB (Chicago) agreed to limit their growth rate as well as maintain a capital ratio of 5.1% versus a regulatory minimum of 4.0%, which may impact the future level of dividends the FHLB (Chicago) may pay, as well as the FHLB (Chicago)'s current practice regarding allowing the immediate redemption of its stock. The Company continues to closely monitor the situation at the FHLB (Chicago) and continues to believe the FHLB (Chicago) stock is a prudent investment for the Company; the Company has no immediate plans to substantially reduce the size of this investment. In the event the FHLB (Chicago) substantially reduces the amount of or eliminates the dividend payable on its stock, our interest income and, accordingly, our earnings, may be adversely affected. During the second quarter of 2004, dividends received on our investment in FHLB (Chicago) stock represented $3.1 million, or 13%, of our interest income for the quarter. 35 DEPOSITS AND FUNDS BORROWED The following table presents the balances of deposits by category and each category as a percentage of total deposits at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, ---------------------- ---------------------- 2004 2003 ---------------------- ---------------------- PERCENT PERCENT BALANCE OF TOTAL BALANCE OF TOTAL --------- ---------- --------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Non-interest bearing demand... $ 163,543 10% $ 135,110 9% Savings....................... 11,871 1% 9,795 1% Interest-bearing demand....... 89,810 5% 85,083 5% Money market.................. 671,334 40% 552,439 36% Brokered deposits............. 413,813 25% 447,948 29% Other time deposits........... 323,033 19% 316,984 20% ---------- --- ---------- --- Total deposits............. $1,673,404 100% $1,547,359 100% ========== === ========== === Total deposits of $1.7 billion at June 30, 2004 represent an increase of $126.0 million or 8% as compared to total deposits of $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2003. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 21% to $163.5 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $135.1 million at December 31, 2003. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased 6% to $89.8 million as compared to $85.1 million at December 31, 2003. Money market accounts increased by $118.9 million, or 22%, to $671.3 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $552.4 million at December 31, 2003. Brokered deposits decreased by 8% or $34.1 million to $413.8 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $447.9 million at December 31, 2003. Other time deposits increased by approximately $6.0 million to $323.0 million as compared to $317.0 million at year-end 2003 due to growth in core deposits. We continue to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funding for growth in the loan and investment portfolios. We have issued certain brokered deposits that include call option provisions, which provide us with the opportunity to repay the certificates of deposit on a specified date prior to the contractual maturity date. During the first and second quarters of 2004, we maintained the use of FHLB advances as a funding source, called two brokered deposits and lengthened the maturities of certain brokered deposits, taking advantage of more favorable long-term rates. On March 30, 2004, we notified the Depository Trust Company of our intent to call two brokered deposits. The deposits, a $15.0 million 4-year original maturity at 3.50% deposit and a $10.0 million 20-year original maturity at 6.00% deposit, were redeemed on April 14, 2004 and April 26, 2004, respectively. Remaining prepaid broker commissions of $170,000 relating to these two deposits were amortized between the notification date and the call redemption dates. Therefore, amortization expense was higher in the second quarter than if we had held these brokered deposits to their maturity. The bank replaced these called brokered deposits with new brokered deposits. The new deposits, a $15.0 million deposit entered into on March 26, 2004 with a 4-year maturity at 3.20% and a $10.0 million deposit entered into on April 23, 2004 with a 20-year maturity at 5.50%, are also callable. While there was no meaningful impact to our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2004 associated with our call of these two deposits as the majority of the $170,000 fee amortization expense occurred in April of 2004, the second quarter's margin was negatively impacted by the higher fee amortization associated with our call of these two deposits. 36 As of June 30, 2004, there were four outstanding brokered deposits containing unexercised call provisions. We have brokered deposits with eight different brokers and we receive periodic information from other brokers regarding potential deposits. The scheduled maturities of brokered deposits, net of unamortized prepaid broker commissions, as of June 30, 2004, for the fiscal years 2004 through 2007 and thereafter, are as follows: BROKERED DEPOSITS NET OF UNAMORTIZED PREPAID BROKER COMMISSIONS (IN THOUSANDS) -------------- MATURITY DATE RATE(1) 6/30/2004 12/31/2003 6/30/2003 ------------- ------- --------- ---------- --------- 07/17/03 2.25% -- -- 20,000 07/21/03 2.45% -- -- 15,312 07/24/03 2.40% -- -- 17,425 09/05/03 3.80% -- -- 2,394 10/17/03 2.05% -- -- 5,000 10/17/03 1.85% -- -- 6,699 10/17/03 2.05% -- -- 3,000 10/29/03 1.75% -- -- 20,000 12/31/03 1.80% -- -- 953 01/09/04 1.85% -- 10,000 10,000 01/15/04 1.70% -- 28,000 28,000 01/15/04 1.85% -- 18,423 18,448 01/22/04 1.70% -- 10,000 10,000 01/22/04 1.90% -- 12,000 12,000 01/30/04 1.85% -- 11,837 11,872 02/19/04 1.60% -- 25,000 25,000 02/26/04 1.80% -- 30,000 30,000 03/26/04 1.50% -- 10,426 10,549 04/19/04 2.25% -- 5,000 5,000 04/21/04 2.10% -- 10,000 10,000 05/28/04 1.50% -- 21,000 21,000 06/30/04 1.35% -- 3,551 -- 07/09/04 1.95% 4,999 4,999 5,000 07/23/04 1.40% 5,500 5,500 -- 07/30/04 1.10% 10,000 10,000 -- 08/04/04 1.75% 10,000 10,000 10,000 08/30/04 2.50% 25,000 25,000 25,000 09/10/04 1.50% 5,000 5,000 -- 09/27/04 1.45% 16,650 16,700 -- 09/27/04 1.75% 11,423 11,448 11,448 10/18/04 2.30% 7,668 7,668 7,668 10/29/04 1.45% 3,000 3,000 -- 11/29/04 1.75% 10,000 10,000 10,000 12/30/04 1.45% 6,513 6,513 -- 12/30/04 1.65% 5,000 5,000 -- 01/24/05 2.25% 10,000 10,000 10,000 01/25/05 1.65% 2,500 2,500 -- 01/28/05 1.45% 10,000 -- -- 01/28/05 1.65% 10,000 -- -- 01/31/05 2.15% 15,000 15,000 15,000 02/25/05 1.65% 18,100 -- -- 02/28/05 2.05% 7,233 7,233 7,233 03/11/05 1.80% 5,000 5,000 -- 03/23/05 1.80% 4,000 -- -- 03/28/05 1.45% 5,000 -- -- 05/02/05 1.75% 1,279 1,279 -- 05/09/05 1.85% 2,000 2,000 2,000 05/26/05 2.05% 20,000 -- 06/23/05 2.05% 8,000 -- 08/01/05 1.65% 6,000 6,000 -- 08/26/05 2.00% 7,000 -- 08/26/05 2.10% 5,500 09/19/05 2.30% 5,000 5,000 09/19/05 2.00% 5,000 11/09/05 2.05% 1,980 2,000 2,000 37 11/23/05 2.10% 15,000 15,000 15,000 11/28/05 2.50% 10,250 03/17/06 2.05% 7,500 05/22/06 2.20% 9,980 9,980 10,000 05/23/06 2.40% 20,000 20,000 20,000 09/18/06 2.35% 4,000 09/26/06 2.20% 5,000 09/28/07 3.50% 15,000 11/13/07 3.40% 6,973 6,988 7,000 03/17/08 3.05% 4,188 03/26/08 (2) 3.20% 15,000 01/21/14 (2) 5.00% 10,000 02/27/19 5.50% 12,500 10/24/23 6.00% 10,000 03/12/24 (2) 5.75% 9,915 03/18/24 (2) 0.00% 5,939 04/23/24 (2) 5.50% 9,860 -------- -------- -------- Total brokered deposits............ $415,450 $449,045 $440,001 Unamortized prepaid broker commissions........................

We have periodically used the services of the FHLB for funding needs and other correspondent services. During the second quarter of 2004, our reliance on FHLB borrowings as a funding source remained the same as in the first quarter of 2004. FHLB borrowings totaled $230.7 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $65.8 million at June 30, 2003 and $156.2 million at December 31, 2003. A summary of all funds borrowed and outstanding at June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 is presented in the table below: CURRENT LONG TERM FUNDS BORROWED: RATE MATURITY 6/30/2004 12/31/2003 6/30/2003 - ------------------------- ---- -------- --------- ---------- --------- FHLB fixed advance (1) 4.16% 09/04/2007 25,000 25,000 -- Subordinated note 3.35% 02/11/2007 -- -- 5,000 FHLB fixed advance 2.87% 11/14/2006 25,000 25,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 2.43% 07/17/2006 1,000 1,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 2.12% 01/17/2006 2,000 2,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 2.28% 01/03/2006 10,000 10,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 2.31% 11/07/2005 2,000 2,000 -- FHLB fixed advance (2) 6.50% 10/24/2005 25,695 26,225 26,752 FHLB fixed advance 2.40% 09/06/2005 5,000 5,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.69% 08/17/2005 25,000 -- -- FHLB fixed advance 1.83% 07/15/2005 3,000 3,000 -- -------- -------- -------- TOTAL LONG-TERM FUNDS BORROWED 123,695 99,225 31,752 SHORT TERM FUNDS BORROWED: FHLB fixed advance 1.91% 06/15/2005 7,000 7,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.96% 06/15/2005 25,000 25,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.95% 05/09/2005 2,000 2,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.55% 01/30/2005 25,000 -- -- FHLB fixed advance 1.45% 01/13/2005 1,000 1,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.59% 12/15/2004 10,000 10,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.56% 12/13/2004 2,000 2,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.56% 11/16/2004 5,000 5,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.74% 11/08/2004 3,000 3,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.57% 10/25/2004 2,000 2,000 -- FHLB fixed advance 1.31% 10/20/2004 25,000 -- -- FHLB fixed advance 1.61% 01/16/2004 -- -- 1,000 FHLB fixed advance 6.21% 12/05/2003 -- -- 30,000 FHLB fixed advance 1.73% 11/07/2003 -- -- 6,000 FHLB fixed advance 2.74% 07/17/2003 -- -- 1,000 FHLB fixed advance 2.21% 07/17/2003 -- -- 1,000 Borrowing under revolving line of credit facility 3.50% 12/01/2003 -- -- 30,000 Fed funds purchased 1.11% Daily 64,000 50,000 52,000 Demand repurchase agreements (3) 0.90% Daily 11,752 13,338 17,681 -------- -------- -------- TOTAL SHORT-TERM FUNDS BORROWED 182,752 120,338 138,681 -------- -------- -------- TOTAL FUNDS BORROWED $306,447 $219,563 $170,433 ======== ======== ======== <FN> (1) The Company has the right to cancel this advance after one year and semi-annually thereafter with 5-business day written notice. (2) This FHLB advance is subject to a fair value hedge utilizing an interest rate swap with a fair value of $1.3 million. The contractual par amount on the advance is $25.0 million. (3) Demand repurchase agreements are a form of retail repurchase agreements offered to certain clients of The PrivateBank (Chicago). Funds are swept each business day from the client's demand deposit account. These amounts are not deposits and are not insured, but are secured by a pool of securities pledged specifically for this purpose. </FN> The Company has a $40.0 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank that matures on December 1, 2004. At June 30, 2004, we had a zero balance outstanding under the line, compared to $30.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2003. On July 30, 2003, the outstanding balance on the line of 39 credit was paid in full using proceeds from the common stock offering completed on July 30, 2003. The interest rate on any borrowings under this revolving line resets quarterly, and is based on, at our option, either the lender's prime rate or three-month LIBOR +120 basis points with a floor of 3.50%. Historically, we have elected to pay interest based on the three-month LIBOR rate +120 basis points. As of June 30, 2003, we had a $5.0 million subordinated note outstanding. The interest on the subordinated note was reset each quarter based on the three-month LIBOR rate +200 basis points. The note was payable in full on or before February 11, 2007, and provided for certain rate escalation beginning after February 11, 2002. On August 19, 2003, the subordinated note was paid in full. CAPITAL RESOURCES Stockholders' equity rose to $173.7 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $6.7 million from December 31, 2003 stockholders' equity of $167.0 due primarily to year-to-date 2004 net income of $12.4 million and a decrease of $6.8 million for the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale, net of income taxes. On July 30, 2003, the Company completed its sale of 1.955 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering. The public offering price was $31.25. Net proceeds to the Company totaled approximately $57.2 million. At June 30, 2004, $20.0 million of our outstanding trust-preferred securities was treated as Tier 1 capital. The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain areas. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a banking subsidiary is not "well capitalized," regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited as is asset growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required. 40 The following table sets forth our consolidated regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and December 31, 2003: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- 2004 2003 2003 ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- "Well- "Well- "Well- capital- Excess/ capital- Excess/ capital- Excess/ ized" (Deficit) ized" (Deficit) ized" (Deficit) Capital Standard Capital Capital Standard Capital Capital Standard Capital ------- -------- ------- ------- -------- ------- ------- -------- ------- DOLLAR BASIS: Tier 1 leverage capital......... $167,782 $107,140 $60,642 $86,777 $82,959 $3,818 $155,431 $94,171 $61,260 Tier 1 risk-based capital......... 167,782 91,486 76,296 86,777 73,728 13,049 155,431 80,495 74,936 Total risk-based capital......... 185,087 152,476 32,611 102,796 122,881 (20,085) 170,531 134,158 36,373 PERCENTAGE BASIS: Leverage ratio..... 7.83% 5.00% 5.23% 5.00% 8.25% 5.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio... 11.00 6.00 7.06 6.00 11.59 6.00 Total risk-based capital ratio... 12.14 10.00 8.37 10.00 12.71 10.00 Total equity to total assets.... 7.90 5.70 8.41 To be considered "well-capitalized," an entity must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. To be "adequately capitalized," a bank must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%. At June 30, 2004, the Company and each of the banking subsidiaries exceeded the minimum levels of all regulatory capital requirements, and were considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory standards. LIQUIDITY Liquidity measures our ability to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund our operations and to provide for clients' credit needs. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings and our ability to borrow funds in the money or capital markets. Net cash used in operations was $8.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to net cash provided by operations of $13.4 million in the prior year period. The net cash provided during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was impacted by the growth and timing of receipts of interest and cash settlement payments. Net cash outflows from investing activities were $246.7 million in the first six months of 2004 compared to a net cash outflow of $188.0 million in the prior year period. Cash inflows from financing activities in the first six months of 2004 were $212.4 million compared to a net inflow of $200.7 million in the first six months of 2003. In the event of short-term liquidity needs, our banking subsidiaries may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks. Membership in the FHLB System gives the banking subsidiaries the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB for short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. Subject to the waiver of the required notice period upon redemption, our investment in FHLB stock is a source of liquidity for us. At June 30, 2004, we owned $208.1 million of FHLB stock, $207.0 million of which is stock of the FHLB (Chicago). We can elect at any time to sell FHLB stock at par back to the FHLB, excluding the required FHLB stock minimum that needs to be maintained in order 41 to support existing FHLB advances. We are required to maintain a ratio of 20:1 of FHLB borrowings to FHLB stock. As of June 30, 2004, we had $230.7 million dollars in advances from the FHLB ($212.7 million from the FHLB (Chicago) and $18.0 million from the FHLB (Des Moines)). We were required to hold $11.5 million in FHLB stock at June 30, 2004 and the remaining $196.7 million of FHLB stock can be redeemed. FHLB has communicated to us that generally the stock will be redeemed immediately upon a request by us, however, FHLB can legally require six months advance notice of the stock sale before the stock is actually liquidated for cash at its par value. Alternatively, FHLB can redeem, at any time, any FHLB stock we own, in excess of the required minimum. During the second quarter of 2004, we sold $3.1 million of FHLB stock, which was redeemed in one business day. Currently, we plan to limit our FHLB stock investment to no more than the $208.5 million we had outstanding at December 31, 2003. The FHLB (Chicago) paid a 6.5% (annualized) dividend in the first, second and third quarters of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 and a 7.0% (annualized) dividend in the fourth quarter 2003. The FHLB (Chicago) recently announced that it will maintain an annualized dividend payment of 6.0% for the second quarter 2004, payable to shareholders in the third quarter 2004. In a press release dated June 30, 2004, the FHLB (Chicago) also recently announced that it has entered into a written agreement with its regulator agreeing to implement various changes to enhance its risk management, capital management, governance and internal control practices. The FHLB (Chicago) agreed to limit their growth rate as well as maintain a capital ratio of 5.1% versus a regulatory minimum of 4.0%, which may impact the future level of dividends the FHLB (Chicago) may pay, as well as the FHLB (Chicago)'s current practice regarding allowing the immediate redemption of its stock. The Company continues to closely monitor the situation at the FHLB (Chicago) and continues to believe the FHLB (Chicago) stock is a prudent investment for the Company; the Company has no immediate plans to substantially reduce the size of this investment. In the event the FHLB (Chicago) substantially reduces the amount of or eliminates the dividend payable on its stock, our interest income and, accordingly, our earnings, may be adversely affected. During the second quarter of 2004, dividends received on our investment in FHLB (Chicago) stock represented $3.1 million, or 13%, of our interest income for the quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we increased the level of FHLB advances while the level of brokered deposits decreased slightly. During the first quarter of 2004, our utilization of FHLB advances increased due to new advances obtained to take advantage of the availability of longer maturity advances at lower rates. Management anticipates that our reliance on FHLB borrowings and brokered deposits as a funding source will continue for the remainder of 2004 to the extent that brokered deposit pricing rates continue to be attractive and our available collateral for FHLB advances remains at current levels. Our asset/liability policy currently limits our use of brokered deposits to levels no more than 40% of total deposits. Consistent with this policy, brokered deposits represented 25% of total deposits at June 30, 2004 compared to 30% of total deposits at June 30, 2003. We do not expect our 40% threshold limitation to limit our ability to implement our growth plan. 42 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK RISK MANAGEMENT We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. We hedge our interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. We use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools. One of two interest rate swaps we have entered into is designated as a fair value hedge of a fixed rate $25.0 million advance from the FHLB (Chicago). We entered into this interest rate swap transaction in 2001 and we agreed to receive a fixed rate in exchange for payment of a 3-month LIBOR floating rate based on an agreed-upon notional amount of $25.0 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $1.3 million as of June 30, 2004, a decrease of $766,000 as compared to December 31, 2003. The Company entered into a $25 million interest rate swap during the third quarter of 2002, swapping the 10-year treasury rate for 3-month LIBOR to serve as an economic hedge of a portion of the Company's available-for-sale municipal bond securities portfolio. The June 30, 2004 fair market value adjustment on this swap resulted in the trading gain of $259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, with a corresponding derivative liability of the same amount. This swap does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment pursuant to SFAS No. 133 ("Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities") and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap are reported in other non-interest income. At June 30, 2004, the carrying value of the trading swap was an asset of $194,000. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT POLICY As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Asset/liability management policy is established by our investment committee of our board of directors and is monitored by management. Our asset/liability management policy sets standards within which we are expected to operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core deposits. The policy also states our reporting requirements to our board of directors. The investment policy complements the asset/liability management policy by establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment, quality standards, and diversification. We measure the impact of interest rate changes on our income statement through the use of gap analysis. The gap represents the net position of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. During any given time period, if the amount of rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of rate sensitive assets, a company would generally be considered negatively gapped and would benefit from falling rates over that period of time. Conversely, a positively gapped company would generally benefit from rising rates. We have structured our assets and liabilities to mitigate the risk of either a rising or falling interest rate environment. We manage our gap position at the one-year horizon. Depending upon our assessment of economic factors such as the magnitude and direction of projected interest rates over the short- and long-term, we generally operate within guidelines set by our asset/liability management policy and attempt to maximize our returns within an acceptable degree of risk. Our policy states that we shall maintain a rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities position at the one-year horizon between 70% and 130%. Our position at June 30, 2004 was 97% as compared to 101% at December 31, 2003 and was within the guidelines of our policy. We have continued to maintain our gap position set by our policy 43 guidelines and expect to continue to operate in this manner as long as the general rate structure of the economy and our business opportunities remain consistent. Therefore, generally speaking, a short-term rise in interest rates will positively impact our earnings, while a short-term drop in interest rates would negatively impact our earnings. Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. There are other factors that are difficult to measure and predict that would influence the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our income statement. For example, a rapid drop in interest rates might cause our loans to repay at a more rapid pace and certain mortgage-related investments to prepay more quickly than projected. This could mitigate some of the benefits of falling rates that are expected when negatively gapped. Conversely, a rapid rise in rates could give us an opportunity to increase our margins and stifle the rate of repayment on our mortgage-related loans, which would increase our returns.

The effects are determined through the use of a simulation model based on our interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios, assuming the size of these portfolios remains constant from the balance sheet date throughout the one-year measurement period. The simulation assumes that assets and liabilities accrue interest on their current pricing basis. Assets and liabilities then reprice based on their terms and remain at that interest rate through the end of the measurement period. The model attempts to illustrate the potential change in net interest income if the foregoing occurred. JUNE 30, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------- ----------------- +200 -200 -100 +200 -200 -100 BASIS BASIS BASIS BASIS BASIS BASIS POINTS POINTS POINTS POINTS POINTS POINTS ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate 200 or 100 basis point change in interest rates over a one-year time horizon... (1.5)% (3.4)% 1.7% 4.1% (9.2)% (5.9)% This table shows that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of -100 basis points on June 30, 2004, net interest income would increase by 1.7% over a one-year period. Due to current market interest rates, a -100 basis point shift is presented for June 30, 2004 as a more reasonable illustration of possible rate changes. The measurement of a -200 basis point instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve at June 30, 2004 would result in a decline in net interest income of 3.4% over a one-year period versus a decline of 9.2% at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of -100 we would have suffered a decline in net interest income of 5.9%. Conversely, a shift of +200 basis points would decrease net interest income 45 1.5% over a one-year horizon based on June 30, 2004 balances, as compared to an increase of net interest income of 4.1% measured on the basis of the December 31, 2003 portfolio. Changes in the effect on net interest income from the presented basis point movements at June 30, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003 are due to the timing and nature of the repricing of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities within the one year time frame. The difference in the effect on net interest income at June 30, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 is due to the differences in the timing, balances, and current rates versus simulated rates of repricing assets and liabilities. Management's likely reaction to changes in interest rates is incorporated in assumptions made in these calculations. Differences in these assumptions between the reporting periods have also had the effect of reducing the impact of a changing interest rate environment. The preceding sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows and others. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client preferences or competitor influences might change. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under their supervision, with the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from those predicted in forward-looking statements. Factors which might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing; greater than anticipated deterioration in asset quality due to a prolonged economic downturn in the greater Chicago and St. Louis metropolitan areas; legislative or regulatory changes; adverse developments or changes in the composition of our loan or investment portfolios; significant increases in competition; changes in the current redemption practices of the FHLB (Chicago) relating to its stock; difficulties in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities or strategic partners to complement our private banking approach and the products and services we offer; unexpected difficulties in integrating or operating the mortgage banking business; unanticipated construction or other delays relating to our new office to be located in the Palmolive Building; unanticipated delays in regulatory approvals required to open in Wisconsin; unanticipated delays in opening the planned Milwaukee location; the possible dilutive effect of potential 46 acquisitions or expansion; and our ability to raise new capital as needed and the timing, amount and type of such capital raises. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we may be party to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Since we act as a depository of funds, we may be named from time to time as a defendant in various lawsuits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. Neither PrivateBancorp nor any of our subsidiaries is currently a defendant in any such proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES On June 15, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Corley Financial Corporation. In connection with the acquisition and as partial payment of the purchase price, the Company newly issued 32,000 shares of common stock (then valued at $875,640) to the selling shareholders of Corley.
